Crystal structure of 4-bromo-N-(2- hydroxyphenyl)benzamide

In the title compound, C13H10BrNO2, the mean plane of the non-H atoms of the central amide C—N—C ( O)—C fragment (r.m.s. deviation = 0.004 Å) forms a dihedral angle of 73.97 (12) with the hydroxy-substituted benzene ring and 25.42 (19) with the bromo-substituted benzene ring. The two aromatic rings are inclined to one another by 80.7 (2). In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H O and N—H O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010]. The chains are linked by weak C—H O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to (100), and enclosing R33(17) and R 3 2(9) ring motifs
